setting that breaks build of Axiom with system-installed GCL.
I've looked into how GCL uses si::*system-directory*.
I don't see how setting that variable as Axiom did can be ever correct.
Maybe the problem is somewhere else?
I don't have access to a sane *BSD to test, and I welcome any
help there.


src/algebra/Makefile.pamphlet around line 611 reads:

tree.spad.pamphlet (TREE BTCAT BTREE BSTREE BTOURN BBTREE PENDTREE)
twofact.spad.pamphlet (NORMRETR TWOFACT)                ;; <== HERE
unifact.spad.pamphlet (UNIFACT)

I looked into that file, but nothing "obvious".


The patch was tested on an 

* i686-pc-linux with GCL and noweb installed
* x86_64-suse-linux with noweb installed and WITHOUT GCL installed.
